For those of you that have created Trivia or information apps about MLB or NFL teams... will apple reject these apps if you put the sports teams name in the title. IE: trivia about the yankees or facts about the rams Also what about logos and images? Do you have to get approval for these even if your not selling them?

Logo and images would be a copyright infringement on any sports team without written consent. Even free but not sure on Apple rejecting them.

Even if it's not NFL, there are a tremendous amount of apps live that used copyrighted material: games/movies/etc. I'm always amazed at how many actually get through the approval.

epicweb Aspiring developer Posts: 159 Reg: Aug 30, 2012 Glen Carbon 4,990	10/24/12 11:52 AM (11 years ago) Hi LA.. yes we're very close. Carrolton is just up the road from Glen Carbon. For example, I searched for Rams in the app store and I see several apps out there using the rams logo or rams in the app name. I would just hate to spend the time on development if its going to get rejected. Sean Comments Hi LA.. yes we're very close. Carrolton is just up the road from Glen Carbon.

I def. know about the copyright/infringements but you are correct I see a lot of them also. Especially with the Cardinals. Comments @epicweb, Yes not far at all.

Licensing is paying money for the "privilege" of using a name or logo in your product. It can end up costing quite a bit of money depending on who or what you are licensing.
